Hi you guys,
Is the parameter not working as expected? Even with minlen=15, you can
still have 9 character password.
Any suggestion?
I've always been a bit confused about Cracklib, but have a look at the
cracklib.so module in PAM's manual. Maybe that can help clear things
up. Read the part about minlen, it appears you get credit for more
letters if your password is very different from the previous one, etc.

I found http://www.deer-run.com/~hal/sysadmin/pam_cracklib.html explains
things in a useful way. (For me.)
